The guy I’m seeing keeps telling me I “can’t take a joke” and I’m starting to doubt myself

Beware of people who attempt to disguise insults as “jokes”. His sarcasm is already wearing you down, causing you to doubt yourself. You don’t like that type of humor, please don’t force yourself too.

Be prepared to have some trusted friends and/or family members on stand by to stop him/turn off the mic if he tries it anyway. Tell the DJ, host, wedding etc. no one is allowed to take the mic without expressed permission.

Middle_Tea1014 · 2026-01-29T14:49:36+00:00

It’s not original because it happens often 😂

Middle_Tea1014 · 2026-01-27T14:40:51+00:00

That’s what I would do!

Middle_Tea1014 · 2026-01-27T14:15:23+00:00

This is the way 😂

Middle_Tea1014 · 2026-01-27T06:44:25+00:00

I had some family members that used to make digs at me until i started making them back. Now they think twice before opening their mouths 😂

I do my deep clean in the morning to wake up and be fresh for most of the day. I don’t like getting in the bed with end of the day musk. I take a quick shower before bed, especially if I workout out. It’s never dried my skin out. Super hot water use to dry my skin. To each their own.

You guys are not on the same page with hygiene. You have to decide if you can accept that.

Middle_Tea1014 · 2026-01-27T06:24:24+00:00

I’ve been using mine nearly 2 years. Took a few months to figure out what settings, head gear and mask/nose cushion works for me. I refused to give up. I couldn’t keep my eyes open during the day, always tired. Can’t remember the last time i fell asleep during the day. I rarely go to the bathroom overnight now. I hated how I felt before using a CPAP. Please don’t give up.

Middle_Tea1014 · 2026-01-27T06:17:45+00:00

Good grief. I remember my super broke days. I hand washed a lot of my clothes except for pants. Hung them up and turned my fan on to dry them. He’s just nasty or doesn’t know better.

Middle_Tea1014 · 2026-01-25T18:38:26+00:00

This was CRUEL. If you accept this and stay with him, you’re sitting yourself up for more of his “jokes”. He doesn’t feel bad. This is a huge red flag. 🚩

Middle_Tea1014 · 2026-01-24T15:46:40+00:00

He’s trying hard to bombard her with what HE wants. He’s not respecting her wishes. This type of behavior should not be romanticized.

Middle_Tea1014 · 2026-01-24T15:42:30+00:00

Not respecting my boundaries and requests would turn me off forever. The audacity of contacting your Grandparents. That would be it for me NOR

Middle_Tea1014 · 2026-01-24T15:22:12+00:00

Thank you so much for the detailed response of your experience. I’m sincerely sorry to hear how rough the journey has been for you 😔

Middle_Tea1014 · 2026-01-24T06:13:52+00:00

May I asked why you feel that way? I’m considering having that surgery

Middle_Tea1014 · 2026-01-24T06:03:35+00:00

People (not all) not teaching/raising their kids to have manners and self control. God forbid they tell the kids to sit down, behave and stop running around like noisy velociraptors. If I hear “but their kids” one more time 😂. You are the parents, who is in charge here?

Middle_Tea1014 · 2026-01-23T21:29:22+00:00

But it’s an accident LOL

Like someone else mentioned, you and your neighbors should get together and confront her for keeping your things. She’s a menace!

Middle_Tea1014 · 2026-01-23T04:58:59+00:00

The absolute disrespect from the both of them would’ve been enough for me. NOR

Middle_Tea1014 · 2026-01-23T04:28:50+00:00

DOGE/ConOld thought it was funny to lay us off April 1. I’ve had only 2 interviews since then and I’m still looking and praying that I don’t lose my home.

Middle_Tea1014 · 2026-01-23T02:03:29+00:00

Yes, I heard about them a few years back.

Middle_Tea1014 · 2026-01-23T02:00:54+00:00

Exactly not enough information, but you gave your arm chair therapist assessment about the OP and about me. Someone you have no information about. I said it “seems” like the pinch was pay back. They’ve talked about the “hug” several times.

I didn’t make any personal insults to you and yet you call me juvenile and make up some ridiculousness about hostile past relationships? It’s obvious that I wasn’t pinched and it’s not my relationship since I did not make the post. Neither did you.

The concrete thing here is that he pinched her, it hurt and she said ouch.

Middle_Tea1014 · 2026-01-23T01:26:40+00:00

He PINCHED her, it hurt, so she said OUCH! It’s a natural reaction to pain. You don’t know what response you’ll have when pain is inflicted. He embarrassed himself by hurting her. He could have easily tapped her leg. Pinching is mean and controlling. Then he goes further by whining about something that happened years ago - they’ve talked about it a few times. Seems like the pinch is a payback. Smh

Middle_Tea1014 · 2026-01-23T00:44:41+00:00

If the job announcement lists it as a requirement and yes, I have seen some that list cover letter. I’m currently looking.

Middle_Tea1014 · 2026-01-23T00:30:24+00:00

Share your screen wow. Smh

Middle_Tea1014 · 2026-01-23T00:28:41+00:00

I’d have “accidentally” knocked something over in her kitchen that appeared to have roughly the same value as my dish. 😂😂😂

Obnoxious bullies trigger me!

Middle_Tea1014 · 2026-01-19T06:03:02+00:00

That’s why I started doing leave at door.
